Scout, a National Guard dog, was born to be a hero. When Scout and his 12-year-old owner, Matt, land in Puerto Rico after a devastating hurricane, they want to help. The pair befriend Luisa, who knows all about the Sato dogs--abandoned pups who need food and shelter.

Scout and Matt decide to foster an injured dog named Pepita. But Pepita is clearly searching for something and runs off into the rainforest. Now it's up to Scout, Matt and Luisa to find the missing dog and bring her back safely.

Surviving the dangers of the wilderness will be far from easy, but Scout and Matt make an excellent team.

This fast-moving tale of Scout the hero dog will grab even reluctant readers and is perfect for fans of Cracker , Max, and Hero.
